favorite terminal for <K>From ihnss!ihuxq!ihuxp!ihuxo!ihuxn!ihuxl!ihuxk!ihuxj!ihuxi!otto@Berkeley Fri Oct 23 19:30:03 1981
My favorite terminal in this price range is a Concept 108. It has numerous
features I like, such as the following:
1) Eight pages of memory,
2) APL/ASCII character sets, and the ability to switch between 4 different
character sets (some user defined, if there is a prom burner available),
3) Ability to define up to 4 rectangular windows anywhere in the 8 pages of
display memory, with different devices sending output to different windows.
4) 19 programmable function keys, with both regular and shifted codings, with
1K bytes of programmable memory for starters (more if you are willing to
give up some display memory).
5) A "latent expression" which is stored in non-volitile memory, which
executes whenever the terminal is powered up or reset.
6) Two modes of display: 24 lines by 80 characters or 24 lines by 132
characters, switchable under software or keyboard control.
7) The usual cursor addressing, reverse video, blinking, half-bright
business.
The price for this terminal is about $1,700.
P.S. Several concepts can be connected to a single terminal such as a
DECwriter for hardcopy. A contention box is available to ensure that
only one Concept has the printer slaved at any one moment.
